"NYT Report: Hamas Weapon Sources Linked to Israel and Global Ammo Shortage"
The New York Times revealed that a significant number of weapons used by Hamas may come from unexploded Israeli munitions in Gaza, with intelligence suggesting that Hamas has repurposed these munitions for its rockets and anti-tank weaponry. The report also highlighted instances of stolen ammunition and grenades being sent to Gaza and the West Bank. The siege imposed by Israel on Gaza in 2007 forced Hamas to develop sophisticated manufacturing abilities, enabling them to repurpose explosives from warheads and collect unexploded munitions. Additionally, the Al-Qassam Brigades reportedly discovered munitions on sunken British military vessels. Middle East policy analyst Ahmed Fouad Alhatib emphasized that domestic manufacture is the most essential way for Hamas to obtain weaponry.
